We are very sorry that your baby has died. We understand that this is a very upsetting and confusing time. Sands is here for anyone affected by pregnancy loss or baby loss.

The information here is intended to support you in sharing your experiences of maternity care if you would like to. You should not feel scared or worried about talking about your experiences of care, raising concerns or making a complaint. By listening to parents and their experiences, hospitals can learn how to improve their services for families in the future.

Download our PDF guide to help you with information on how to raise concerns, give feedback or make a complaint after the death of your baby.

Everyone grieves differently and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. You may need different types of support and this can change over time. We are here to offer support in a way that is right for you and your family, for as long as you need this.

If you need immediate emotional or mental health support following the death of a baby, please reach out to our Helpline 0808 164 3332 helpline@sands.org.uk.
